🚫 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY IN ENGLISH 😳🔥

These sentences may sound correct...

But native speakers rarely say them this way! 👀

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1️⃣ ❌ Open the light

✅ Turn on the light

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

2️⃣ ❌ Close the TV

✅ Turn off the TV

🚨 We "turn off" electronic devices.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✅ I agree with you

🚨 "Agree" is a verb, not an adjective.

4️⃣ ❌ I very like this movie

✅ I really like this movie

✅ I like this movie very much

🚨 Never put "very" before the main verb.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

5️⃣ ❌ Discuss about it

✅ Discuss it

🚨 "Discuss" already includes the meaning of "about."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

6️⃣ ❌ Return back

✅ Return

✅ Come back

🚨 "Return" already means "come back."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
